Widely regarded as a master designer of luxurious suits for men, Neapolitan tailor Ciro Paone launched Kiton in 1956. Sourcing the finest silks and wools, Kiton is renowned for its exclusive materials, including a lightweight summer fabric that uses fibers measuring one-ninth the thickness of human hair. For years, Paone, the son of fifth-generation fabric merchants, personally oversaw the finishing details of his suits, some of which require 45 separate steps and can take more than 40 hours to craft by hand.
